Thanks, esp for the link, Jeremy ??
I discover that I can’t access this information about My SQL database (i.e. username, password) until I have switched my 1&1 hosting package to Linux. But I can’t do that yet because I have an up+running business website that requires the current Windows hosting package. So would it be ok to edit wp-config-sample.php at a later point, once I’ve created my WordPress blog and I’m ready to convert to Linux hosting to test it out live, i.e. can I create a blog using WordPress without doing all this yet? If so, what do I need to do instead/first?
Many thanks.
